Abstract

A mechanical seal for liquid with an axially floating tray sleeve inside, comprising a movable ring, a static ring, a locking ring and a tray sleeve, wherein the static ring is connected to a cover and a shell to be stationary, the movable ring is fixed with a shaft or a shaft sleeve through the locking ring and rotates, and the contact end faces of the movable ring and the static ring form a sealing face which is vertical to and slides against the shaft; the tray sleeve is between a sealing ring and the shaft or shaft sleeve in the direction vertical to the shaft; the tray sleeve is connected to the movable ring or the static ring near an inner end of the liquid in the axial direction; the tray sleeve extends out of the cover in the axial direction near the air end.

Claims (24)

1. A mechanical seal for liquid with an axially floating tray sleeve inside, comprising a static ring ( 2 ), a movable ring ( 1 ), a locking ring ( 9 ) and a tray sleeve ( 3 ), wherein the static ring ( 2 ) is connected to a cover ( 12 ) and a shell ( 13 ) to be stationary, the movable ring ( 1 ) is fixed with a shaft or a shaft sleeve ( 7 ) through the locking ring ( 9 ) and rotates, and the contact end faces of the movable ring ( 1 ) and the static ring ( 2 ) form a sealing face which is vertical to and slides against the shaft; the tray sleeve ( 3 ) is between a sealing ring and the shaft or shaft sleeve in the direction vertical to the shaft, and parallel to the axis along the axial direction; the tray sleeve ( 3 ) is connected to the movable ring ( 1 ) or the static ring ( 2 ) near an inner end of the liquid in the axial direction; the tray sleeve ( 3 ) extends out of the cover ( 12 ) in the axial direction near the air end.

2. The mechanical seal for liquid with an axially floating tray sleeve inside according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the tray sleeve ( 3 ) is provided with a warning sign, scale or color band or projection.

3. The mechanical seal for liquid with an axially floating tray sleeve inside according to claim 1 , wherein axial and radial displacements of the tray sleeve ( 3 ) in the mechanical seal are fixed by a rigid connection between the end of the tray sleeve ( 3 ) near the liquid inner side in the axial direction and the movable ring ( 1 ) or the static ring ( 2 ), and the rigid connection is inlaid, or bonded or a boss connection provided between the sealing ring and a spring ( 6 ).

4. The mechanical seal for liquid with an axially floating tray sleeve inside according to claim 3 , wherein the spring ( 6 ) is any one of a large cylindrical spring, a small coil spring, a wave plate spring, a bellows spring or a disc spring.

5. The mechanical seal for liquid with an axially floating tray sleeve inside according to claim 1 , wherein the movable ring ( 1 ) and the static ring ( 2 ) are integral or separate, or one ring is integral and the other ring is separate.

6. The mechanical seal for liquid with an axially tray sleeve inside according to claim 1 , wherein the tray sleeve ( 3 ) is made from hard materials.

7. A mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft, said mechanical seal comprising:

a static ring;

a movable ring in sliding contact with said static ring, said movable ring being rotatable with said shaft;

a tray sleeve in communication with one of said movable ring and said static ring, said tray sleeve being selectively capable of axial movement along said shaft;

a cover substantially enclosing said movable ring and said static ring; and

wherein said tray sleeve includes an indicating portion that extends outside of said cover and is thereby observable.

8. The mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft according to claim 7 , wherein:

said tray sleeve is actively biased for said axial movement.

9. The mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft according to claim 7 , wherein:

said tray sleeve is spring biased for said axial movement.

10. The mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft according to claim 7 , wherein:

one of said movable ring and said static ring is actively biased for said axial movement.

11. The mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft according to claim 7 , wherein:

one of said movable ring and said static ring is spring biased for axial movement.

12. The mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft according to claim 7 , wherein:

said portion includes a visual identifier, wherein a positionable relationship between said visual identifier and said cover reflects wear between said static ring and said movable ring.

13. The mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft according to claim 7 , wherein:

said portion includes a visual identifier, wherein a positionable relationship between said visual identifier and said cover reflects wear of said static ring.
